Juventus-Lazio got off to a thrilling start for the Biancocelesti who saw referee Massa award a penalty to the Turin side. In the 11th minute, Cambiaso made a clever run down the flank and crossed to the far post where Vlahovic won the ball back. . Patric then directed the ball towards Vecino, who, however, touched the Juventus player directly. The referee didn’t think twice, but was then stopped by VAR for an imaginable offside by the former Genoa. After taking the field, Massa made a decision to disallow everything due to Cambiaso’s offside position.
Juventus-Lazio: the match
It took 3 minutes to realize that the full-back’s position was inconsistent. The referee overturned his past decision because at the time of Vlahovic’s header, who was looking to serve his teammates in the box, Cambiaso was offside. The vital point was in the head of Patric who tried to push the ball with his head. However, the ball was not “deliberately played”, due to the speed with which it came towards the centre-back. The fact that he wasn’t on the ground and also played a big role that the trajectory was unforeseen as it came from a first touch. This made Massa see the piece as unintentional and that’s why he canceled everything.
For a better understanding, it is conceivable to cite the regulations of the Serie A league, which explain precisely this situation. Offside, explained through Rule 11, occurs only if a player beyond the defenders’ line interferes with play or touches a ball passing through a teammate, or interferes with an opponent:
“preventing you from betting or being able to play the ball, apparently obstructing your field of vision, or • contesting the ball, or • apparently attempting to play the ball that is nearby when such action affects the opponent, or • making an apparent signal an action that apparently affects the opponent’s ability to play the ball, or • gain merit (from such position) by interfering with an opponent or betting the ball when: • bounced or deflected off the post or crossbar, through an official attack or through an opponent • An intentional “save” made through an opponent.
A player in an offside position who receives the ball from an opponent who has played it planned, adding with the hand/arm, is not considered to have gained an advantage, unless it is a planned stop through an opponent. “Deliberate play” (excluding planned hand/ball contact) occurs when a player has the ball with the ability to: • pass the ball to a teammate • take possession of the ball, or • throw the ball (e. g. , kick it or kick the title).
If the pass, attempted possession, or throwing of the ball through the player holding it is erroneous or misses, this does not negate the fact that the player played the ball intentionally. The following criteria deserve to be used, where appropriate, as signs that a player was in possession of the ball and therefore could possibly be thought to have “intentionally played” it:
• The ball was coming from a distance and the player had a transparent view of it, • The ball was not moving quickly, • The direction of the ball was not unexpected, • The player had time to coordinate the movement of his body, i. e. , it was not a stretch/extension (of the limbs) or an instinctive jump, or a movement resulting in limited contact/control. • A moving ball on the ground is less difficult to play than a ball in the air.
